watab kid Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 thats one i enjoy as well , seems folks were a bit more sophisticated back then , or maybe they had fewer changes of clothing to choose from ? any way ive not worn a tie since the nintys and im found in jeans daily these days so im not one to preach on sophisticated dress , ball cap or cowboy hat is norm as well - odd for one that never wore ca hat till his 50s huh ? edit to not neither would be called sophisticated , but they are comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great series, the chemistry between Myrna Loy and William Powell is incredible and I really enjoy watching the two of them in the series.

Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I've watched two SILENT films. One was called "Birth of a Nation" and is cited by historians as a primary contributing factor to the resurgence of the KKK in the 1920s. It was pretty bad. This was for a black history class I took in college. The other was "Nosferatu," which was an obvious plagiarism of "Dracula." It wasn't a bad movie in it's own right; I just prefer to have sound This movie wasn't for a class; I just read something about it and how it influenced the development of the horror genre, so I decided to watch it for myself.

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Truly the golden years of filmdom. No matter how corny the scene or the actors' lines there was a certain class which made them enjoyable. A case in point the huge difference between Jack Paar and the modern day talk show hosts.

Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 ........ I'm sorry, please excuse my ignorance but .......... what is a bismark ? (I'm guessing it's not a big boat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 A Bismarck is a type of filled pastry that resembles a doughnut without a hole. Also known as a Berliner, Bismarcks are typically made of yeast dough fried in lard, filled with fruit jam and topped with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of icing glaze. According to Leite's Culinaria, Bismarcks, known as "Bismarcken" in Germany where the nickname originated, were a favorite snack of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, who was responsible for uniting Germany following a series of wars in the mid-1800s. German immigrants who entered the United States in the early 1900s brought the recipe and terminology with them, and filled doughnuts are still commonly referred to as Bismarcks, particularly in the Midwest. (Source: https://www.reference.com/world-view/bismarck-doughnut-73301952257bcbf7 ) (As an aside, Bismarcks filled with jelly are called Berliners, which led to a good natured Presidential gaffe: John F Kennedy, in Berlin, proudly declared to the crowd, "Ich bin ein Berliner!" The crowd hesitated, then laughed politely ... he'd intended to call himself a Berlin, that is to say, one of them: instead, he proudly declared, on the world stage, "I am a jelly doughnut!" -- but they loved him all the more for it!

(I'm guessing it's not a big boat) It's a type of doughnut. Depending on where you are, it can be called different names, or be made different ways. Around here, they'll usually be elongated with chocolate icing and some sort of creme or custard filling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 At least y'all saw that it said Bismarck. I've opened this thread a half a dozen times. I've even replied to this thread. And all this time I thought it said coffee and a biscotti. Maybe I need to clean my glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 My source said the term was more common in the west and south. That makes it odd that it was used at Tiffany’s, though the script was likely Hollywood. In Germany it’s called a Berliner, which gives humor to JFK’s “Ich bin ein Berliner”.

Alpo Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Don't forget that Holly's husband was Jed Clampett, and she had grown up on the farm next to him. She went to New York and learned sophistication, but she was born poor white down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hepburn was age 31 when she made that movie... the very height of her beauty.

Birth of a Nation was shown in Woodrow Wilson's White House. It was right up his racist alley. Most racist POTUS post Civil War. He resegregated the federal civil services & military. *What amazes me is it took until the unrest after George Flood's death for the woke crowd at Princeton to realize having a building & school named for him wasn't very woke. His name should have been removed from the building & school back in the 70's. Of course Wilson was a progressive hero until his racist deeds were included in history texts. At UC Berkley in the mid sixties I took upper division US history courses & there was nary a mention of Wilson's racist deeds. The only negative was his draconian crackedown on opponents of US involvement in WW1. * Wilson's deeds were much worse then the CSA generals who the woke crowd want removed from public view.

bgavin Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Wilson was the most tyrannical of all Presidents, and the founder of today's "progressive" party. Another bit for the cancel culture: Seattle was named after Chief Seattle, who was a fully documented slaver. Q: When are they going to cancel Seattle, like they did to Aunt Jemima, and Butterfly McQueen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
